Back in '87 to around '89 I broke two Sear's ones - good thing they were cheap..
The MAC one I bought later is still alive and accurate till today. I used to work in a shop so that's a different story. For home use, Sears should be ok

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/19850/00000004.2.jpg"></center><p>I figured someone would get a kick out of this pic.
I wasn't paying attention when I was reading the compression direction( direction who needs directions, but truthfully I thought I was reading them correctly). Anyways.. a quick turn here a quick turn there. and silly josh(me) has now installed the extention in and hose, and hand tighten it up, after realizing what I did, I went to untighten it and the extension is sitting preity all by itself at the bottom of the spark plug shaft. And of course the 11/16 socket doesn't fit. So a trip to cvs a bit of super glue on a fairly new sparkplug, and tighing it up onto the extension. About 30minutes later after I cursed my stupidity. I embrased my cunning genious. out popped the extension. BTW forgive all the typo's its 12:45am and I just got home. Just checking the mail. and figured some one would enjoy a little laugh. well I can laugh now.
cheers
